Welcome to Orienteering NSW

Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the body and the mind. It's also loads of fun!

The aim is to use a special orienteering map to navigate your way around a course and visit marked check points along the way. You choose a course that suits your age and experience and proceed at your own pace: walk, jog or run. It is a race but you decide if you want to just race yourself or be the next world champion! The course may take you through urban areas, parks, schools, farmland or forests.

Events are conducted weekly across NSW and beginners are welcome at all events.

Want to enter an event? You can see what's on by looking at the Coming Events at left or by going to the Event Calendar. Some events are enter on the day - you just turn up and register at the start. Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


Go wild at Mt Annan this weekend

A new map,  a MetrOLeague Final, Junior League Race #7 and a full set of Enter on the Day courses are all on offer this Sunday 29th July at Mt Annan.  Registration is from 9.15 with starts from 9.30 to 11.30 - enough time that if you enjoy your course you can always go out and do another one! See SHOO's flyer for more details

Consider staying on afterwards and enjoy the beautiful Botanic Gardens.  There is so much to see when you are not racing around with your eyes glued to a map. As the parklands website describes, you can:

 'Discover Bunyah Pines, banksias, bottle trees and coolabah trees, Wollemi Pines, waratahs and Kangaroo Paws. Enjoy the placid lakes rippled by black swans; and grassland and forest, home to shy wallaroos, swamp wallabies and spiny echidnas. Settle in at the bird hide to spot some of the 180 different bird species: Kookaburras, Clamorous Reed Warblers, Sacred Kingfi shers, Silvereyes and Superb Fairy-Wrens, Yellow-Faced Honeyeaters, Yellow-Rumped Thornbills and melodious Magpies and Currawongs. 

Bring your bikes to explore along quiet roads and cycling routes. Meandering tracks will take you to places reminiscent of pre-European settlement, interrupted only by the chatter of teeming birdlife.'
